diwali snack/omapodi/simple plain sev

It is not only a traditional diwali snack but it is a great! yet common tea time snack.Take a large handful of crushed sev in your hand have a cup of tea /coffee in hand!!just sit in a peaceful place and you will enjoy “the” pleasurable evening!!yes!I know it is a silly little thing to be shared but enjoyed by most of us.My son(till now) does not “tolerate and like” spicy food’s and as a snack he likes this plain sev very much.Omam/carom seeds can be simply ground with water and strained!add only the measurement what I have given don’t add too much.Hot oil can be added instead of butter,but if you are adding butter the butter should be soft and not hard.you can soak the carom seeds for some time in hot water before grinding or simply grind it!both the way it is okay.Ompodi/omapodi is a simple diwali snack.

Notes

Hot oil can be added instead of butter.
Omam can be simply ground with water and strained and add only the measurement what I have given don't add too much.
Add only soft butter to it.
It cooks very quickly and it changes color quickly so be careful.
Strain the omapodi in a tissue or a paper before transferring it into a container.
